Bio-diversity

This place where the grant is going to be implemented was one of the 4 biggest fruit tree plantations in Mongolia in the recent past. Because of economic failure in the transition into a market system, the fruit garden was half destroyed by locals for fire making purposes. The grant is given to support community activities to rehabilitate the abandoned cherry plantation. Within the project framework, the local community aims to establish a pine tree plantation in order to rehabilitate forest of a conflagration near Jargalant soum based on their own resources. Also the project proponent intends to get a new variety of sea-buckthorn and currants. Successful implementation of this project will bring a good and rare opportunity for the local community and even for the whole village to generate a lot of income from fruit products, while greatly contributing to nature with thousands of tree seedlings
